BMMS Unit 3 Carbon Cycle
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Carbon Cycle Components | C02 Cycle Sunlight Ocean Exchange/Uptake Photosynthesis Dead Organisms Animal Respiration Fossil Fuels Factory emissions |
Carbon Cycle 1 | One of the most important elements on Earth. It is an element all living things are made up of |
Carbon Cycle 2 | Both plants and animals need ______ in order to survive. The _____ cycle recycles ______ between inorganic and organic forms |
Carbon Cycle- CO2 | The biggest abiotic reservoir for carbon is found in the atmosphere in the form of CO2 |
Carbon Cycle- Sunlight | Plants utilize sunlight and CO2 from the atmosphere |
Carbon Cycle- Ocean Exchange/Uptake | CO2 is absorbed in the ocean |
Carbon Cycle- Photosynthesis | Photosynthetic organisms use CO2, water and sunlight to make organic material |
Carbon Cycle- Dead Organisms | When organisms decompose, carbon is added to the soil |
Carbon Cycle- Animal Respiration | Animals eat plants and other animals containing carbon. Cellular respiration changes organic carbon to CO2 |
Carbon Cycle- Fossil Fuels | Over time, carbon from decomposing organisms can be used as fossil fuels |
Carbon Cycle- Factory Emissions | Burning of fossil fuels releases extra CO2 into the atmosphere |
